U.N. Says It Needs More Time To Investigate The Bhutto Assassination (It's ONLY Been Two Years!)


I'm tempted to run a poll here at Holger Awakens asking which body is more incompetent...the United Nations or the U.S. Congress - might lead to an interesting outcome. The U.N. came out today saying that they need more time in the investigation of all the details of the assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

They need more time. IT'S BEEN TWO FUCKING YEARS!!!! I tell ya, when the United Nations ever announces that they will "investigate" something, you might as well either forget about it or figure a report will come out half a decade later. This is, by the way, the same world body that has been responsible for investigating whether or not Iran is developing nuclear weapons....I think they've asked for more time on that too....about sixteen different times.

From the article at Reuters:


The head of the inquiry commission, Chilean U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, has requested a three-month extension of the mandate, which expires at the end of the year.
"They need more time to continue their investigation," Ban said. "I think this is reasonable and I'm positively considering to extend it for another three months."
The three-member U.N. team conducting the inquiry began its work in July. It is looking into the circumstances surrounding the attack that killed Bhutto after an election campaign rally in Rawalpindi city on December 27, 2007.

Did you notice that their deadline is the end of the year? So they wait until two weeks from their mandated deadline to ask for an extension. These idiots are worthless as tits on a boar.

Anyway, mark my words...this panel will take their three additional months and then ask for another three months and then, after taking six months longer than they were supposed to (which was 18 months longer than they needed) they will come out with a report that says that while there are some suspects in the case, the evidence is not sufficient to come to any conclusions.

Anyone out there want to bet on that outcome?


U.N. Bhutto assassination inquiry needs more time: Ban

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Monday that a U.N. panel looking into the 2007 assassination of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto needed more time to complete its investigation.

The head of the inquiry commission, Chilean U.N. Ambassador Heraldo Munoz, has requested a three-month extension of the mandate, which expires at the end of the year.
"They need more time to continue their investigation," Ban said. "I think this is reasonable and I'm positively considering to extend it for another three months."
The three-member U.N. team conducting the inquiry began its work in July. It is looking into the circumstances surrounding the attack that killed Bhutto after an election campaign rally in Rawalpindi city on December 27, 2007.
The panel is not expected to name suspected culprits. Any criminal investigation will be up to Pakistani authorities, but Munoz has said the commission's findings will hopefully be able to complement the government's efforts.
Ban set up the commission at the request of the coalition government, led by Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party.
The previous government, headed by allies of former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf, blamed Pakistani Taliban leader and al Qaeda ally Baitullah Mehsud for Bhutto's murder.

After two years, they only began the investigation in July? As you say, the are worthless and I think I would prefer that they investigate nothing, because their results always go the wrong way democracy.

No bet from me on this (of course, I don't I would ever bet against you, Holger;-)
